There is something about vinyl that is hard to describe , but not hard to hear.I dont have any bob marley but i have a copy of eddy grant( similar ) and it is an excellent recording. I listen to my TT almost exclusively , i really enjoy the interaction with it. My TT is over 30 yrs old but it sounds great , and with the advent of the internet i have learned alot about setup. Currently running a shure M94lt with a jico stylus . I have a grado reference Platinum 1 on its way to me. Also working on purchasing a Jolida jd9a which will sound much better than the pre built into my yamaha rx-a1000 im sure. Vinyl is here to stay.

Well, as mentioned, these were over the past 10+ years - my current setup is M80's driven by an NAD amp, NAD cd player, iPod...and I have a Thorens TD 280 (Grado cart, vanden Hul silver tonearm leads).

When the better quality TT's were around, I had - if memory serves - Axiom AX3's and Reference 3a's speakers, YBA and SimAudio Moon amps, Oacle/Linn sources, NAD CD...and some other similar level stuff (wow....has the memory faded, need to find my pictures and notes!)

...and then I shelved the hobby, and went on to other things - like kids and an ex wife!!
